This eel is dark brown in life with yellow and black spots and will 

 reach a length of at least twenty inches. It is reported that one specimen 

 of this eel in captivity in the Waikiki marine laboratory, although savage 

 when first caught, grew tame enough after two years to submit to having 

 its neck rubbed, although it would not allow itself to be removed from 

 the tank. 



This eel is known from Japan, Tahiti, Laysan, and the larger Hawaiian 

 Islands.
